They're not changing the definition. If anything, they're bringing back the original meaning/term. "GNC" used to (or still is) be synonymous with genderqueer, non binary, gender variant, etc. Especially since that's what the coiner (Riki Anne Wilchins) made it out to be.

Honestly tho, they can have it. Could use a update and easier-to-understand term, especially one non-GC (and TRA) people can understand and use.

Would you happen to have a source? I'm very curious about this and Google isn't being useful.

So, I'll admit I made a miscalculation (although they edited the page which was 11 days ago) but it no longer says she was the one who coined it, but her term is associated with it due to description. As in "genderqueer" (alongside gender variance, nonbinary, gender diverse, etc.) being another way to describe "GNC" people. As far as who specifically coined GNC, it doesn't give specific names now. Although keeps coming back to "gender identity" (on other websites. Which that was coined by John Money and the mess he created). With that being said, considering what the "G" now stands for and who most definitely coined it (Money), I still don't like being labeled "GNC."

As for the link that was stating that:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-binary_gender#History

But if you search up "Who coined the term gender nonconforming" on Google, her name still pops up for it (at least it does for me).
